Authors and Illustrators

This Unit is all about the children getting to know different Authors and Illustrators and then becoming Authors and Illustrators themselves! We will look closely at the special features (the craft of the writer) these authors use in their writing and try to emulate those features in our very own stories.===

Here are some links to help you at home learn about Authors and Illustrators!
